After a usual crash, I restarted SL, at least, that's what I was trying to do.
Unsupported video card, ftw.

"Your video card appears to be a GD Generic, which Second Life does not support."
Sure, i played this game almost a year, and now it's not supported anymore, ftw again.

"You can try to run Second Life, but it will probably crash or run very slowly. Try anyway?"
I doubt for one second, I could stop my addiction this way. Nah.. let's continue being bored in this lagging world, who gives a shit...
So I pressed "Yes" and I get a new message:

"Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported. Please make bla bla bla".

FTW again! That's a three of a kind. So I checked the minimum and the recommend requirements:

PC Minimum System Recommendations:

* Internet Connection*: Cable or DSL

* Computer Processor: 1.6GHz Pentium 4 or Athlon 2000+ or better

* Computer Memory: 512MB or better

* Video/Graphics Card**:
o nVidia GeForce FX 5600, GeForce 6600, or better
o OR ATI Radeon 9600, X600, or better

Hm..., GeForce 6600, that's exactly the same I got.
Latest drivers? Yep.
Rebooted? Yep.
Reinstalled? Yep.
Kicked some Lindens? Nope, net yet, it's on the todo list.

Anyone any idea?
